I think Utah will run the ball at will on them today. I finally put a couple bets down today in what I think is going to a chaos of a Saturday. I have a two game parlay of PSU over *ichigan and Tennessee over Bama, $300 to win like $3,500...don't know how I got so much of a payout with that but it was worth taking a shot on. Then I put a little bit on TCU over OK State at home. Was really tempted to add Utah over USC to the parlay but when you add the third game that is where you lose it. Heading out for some fall golf with the bye week, but what a hell of a slate of games to have going during the bye.

SC had had a soft schedule and they haven't looked very impressive against anyone, I'm calling a blowout

So the SEC spends about what the MAC spends per student on academics.
